"Ugly, noisy, but solid as a rock and functional."

I'll continue to use this product. I use it on film sets to deliver audio feeds to my boom operator, the director, and the script supervisor. In the studio I run channels to musicians. It does what it needs to do. Alot of directors ask me about the hissing, but it's just the unit.
Sound
The sound is pretty terrible. It's extremely noisy, but generally this unit is only used to give performers a track to play along to. It doesn't have to be good since it isn't the audio that is recorded. For this it is fine.
Features
It's a headphone splitter/amplifier. It splits the signal into eight channels. That's teh only feature it really needs.
Ease of Use
This is extremely straightforward. Run the output from your DAW into the inputs, and plug your headphones in. That's really it.
Quality
LIke all of Behringer's products, the construction is rock solid.
Value
It does what it needs to do, and has a low price tag. It's extremely functional.
The Wow Factor
It's ugly and noisy, but does what it needs to do. No more, and no less.

this fulfills its simple task very well. i think it sounds fine, and it gets plenty loud even with a loud drummer (with decent isolation headphones). this all depends on the signal you're feeding it of course...
Sound
not bad. sounds just fine for monitoring.
Features
features ROCK. 2 main mixes and each channel with a dedicated custom mix. the mono switch is very very handy if you're monitoring with hardware that's only sending a mono signal.
the ONLY thing i don't like about the features is that if you're using a custom mix, you cannot mix in either main mix. what i was hoping was to put the click through the main mix, then mix it in with the custom mix if the talent wants to hear it
Ease of Use
simple
Quality
sound isn't fantastic but i think it sounds pretty good. little noise/hiss from my unit, and i got mine used...
Value
other companies sell similar for almost double.
Manufacturer Support
never used
